a question to this would be why do only some exhibit this appetite and others are oblivious...in fact most are rather blase' about the whole matter and have no interest or appetite at all, over their entire discernible lifetimes.... very odd if the theory that this is some god's playpen for his brood of brats...must have been some bad baby batter in the mix...oh well manifest a convenient scapegoat and blame it on that guy and give the kids guilt over being flawed from the outset as if it is their fault through the sharing of the parental guilt.....nice guy.what possible lesson could one derive from such a chaotic mess of a story?
There are many reasons. Many use false religion to satiate their spiritual hunger:
"Why do you keep paying out money for what is not bread,
And why spend your earnings for what brings no satisfaction?"
Isaiah 55:2.
There was a post I made yesterday as well that touches on the subject. There are three main things that distract a person from the road to life. And puts them into a spiritual slumber, a deathlike sleep as it were. I was trying to link to the post but really can't figure out how so I just copied it.
Here it is:
Jesus said "happy are those conscious of their spiritual need."-Matthew 5:3.
Man worships because it is an inborn, and innate need. When it is not filled he is left feeling empty and alone. Even atheistic societies seem to understand this very innate and basic human need. For example, if you were to go to the atheistic nation of North Korea, while religion is forbidden you will see worship taking place. Every household has to have the portrait of the Dictator and worship it every morning.
Now ask yourself does that false worship really take the place of true worship of the true God Jehovah? No. But it does act as a superficial filler for the void that people have a need for.

Satan has woven thick webs of deceit over the entire world of humankind. He has placed politics, false religion and the commercial system of things to mislead people away from God.
He seems to really want to stop the use of Jehovah's name. So he uses religion to try to blot out Jehovah's name, and give people a false sense of worship.
(Satan...is misleading the entire inhabited earth-Revelation 12:9.)
In fact Satan misleads sincere people that are looking to fill that spiritual need with false religion so that the people really worship demons and not the true God.
(Satan himself keeps disguising himself as an angel of light. It is therefore nothing extraordinary if his ministers also keep disguising themselves as ministers of righteousness.-2 Corinthians 11:14, 15.)
He uses the commercial system of things to lure people away from being conscious of their spiritual need. Modern-day materialism teaches that true happiness and security can be found in obtaining wealth. So people may strive after it in vain their entire lives, yet never understanding why they don't achieve the happiness they are promised.
(The wealth of the rich is his fortified city; It is like a protective wall in his imagination.-Proverbs 18:11)
The bottom line is all you see are people who are unfulfilled, unhappy, and lonely. They are being starved, suffocated from true worship that comes from serving Jehovah the true God of all things.
